#236: Steve McLeod, founder of Feature Upvote

from Bootstrapped · host Steve McLeod

I'm the guest on my own podcast! A year ago, Ben Pages joined my company, Feature Upvote, to be our marketing manager. Ben had questions about the early days of Feature Upvote, and how this product came to be. He also wanted to know the origin of my low-stress approach to running a business. We thought, why keep this conversation to ourselves? Why not record it as a podcast interview, and share it with you? And that is exactly what we did for this episode.Mentioned in this episode:Feature UpvoteA blog post we mentioned: What I learnt in 2018 while running Feature Upvote.The Bob Dylan quote I mis-remembered in this episode is:A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
